Man of Spinifex

all golden verdant sharps of pale green slivers sway opaque against

the giant red dust

an enormous black burned out stem propping them up in pyrrhic fanfare

anoited by the sun and frozen by the stars stuck out like an explosion from within the earth

yet part of it

he stands on one foot the savage

balancing the sky with the earth & the stars with the moon

adroit as his conquerers were cruel

then all his kinder were gone as a weird civilisation plundered the Great South Land

stolen as the dawn confiscates the night
